In the city I run, up north quite a ways,
If you take the gold, you’ll get thirty days.
You can call me Your Honor, but I’ll warn you, son
--
If you take my gold, you’ll get
thirty-one.

The solution: Juneau mayor. (If you
take the AU from Juneau -- Au being the chemical symbol for gold --
you’ll get June. If you take
or -- the heraldic term for gold -- from
mayor, you’ll get May.)

Like most flat bases, enigma answers should be dictionary
entries. “Juneau mayor” is not an entry: now and then
a puzzle that breaks a rule is so clever, with a verse so lively
and well clued, that the editor finds it irresistible. But not
often.

There is no hard and fast distinction between an enigma and a
riddle. Generally, a riddle describes a
thing and an enigma a word; riddles have deceptive descriptions,
enigmas some form of wordplay. An occasional flat can fairly be
classified as either.

Something is described enigmatically in verse. Riddles are not
enumerated -- any synonym of the solution is acceptable as long
as it satisfies the clues. A riddle describing a matchstick, for
example, can also be answered with “a match.”

RIDDLE

He fixes crowns of kings, I’m told,
When they are showing wear.
He patches them with shiny gold;
He’s expert at repair.
You needn’t be a monarch, though --
He’ll also fix your cap.
But though at work he’s quite a pro,
He’s still a boring chap.

=Manx

The solution: a dentist.
